Girl, Goddess, Queen

I don't often rate books 5* but this deserves it clearly. A thoroughly well planned and executed gree the myth retelling. I thought it was beautifully done and made me see the strength in Persephone many stories lack. I've always had strong love with the Greek goddesses but this book helped me in discovering how many of us young women and girls can be seen in Persephone and her chaos of calibre. Thank you Bea, I am enthralled and cannot wait to see what is next from you.

I enjoyed this one. I really liked Kore/Persephone and the journey she goes on. The misogyny of society was a bit heavy-handed sometimes, and the romance was dragged out through miscommunication. But the writing was good and it was a quick read.

Spice level: mild (the intimate scenes are non-graphic)
